So which on of these are better for my pixel 7a if we consider these:
i dont care about leaving the bootloader unlocked
i want customization to my os as long as this is possible
i hate google so i dont want any google things or google spyware (i dont use any google service)
i need push notifications for some apps (maybe microg or sandboxed google play services)
i dont use esim or google pay so idc about these
i need A LOT of privacy and security to my data
i wanna use google camera as it is in stock rom but i dont want google spy shit. if i use a firewall would be ok?
Note: i can sacrifice locking the bootloader and customization for my privacy/security/not having spyware on my phone
Thanks in advance!
GP:s comment made me curious as well. Usually, if multiple hardware vendors are supported there are separate branches with different maintainers. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the main codebase is bloated as a result.
